The Guilty Project, Kevin Eugene Peterson and Charles Montgomery: Two Sex Offenders Who Would Have Been Better Off Behind Bars
February 5, 2010 Tina Leave a comment
Early release is going to be a disaster. It would be less of a disaster if the public had access to the real criminal histories of the people being released. But we're being kept in the dark: nobody wants to admit the chaos in criminal record-keeping.
Kevin Eugene Peterson
Already, someone has been cut loose on the pretense that was merely a non-violent offender, when he was not. He immediately tried to rape a stranger. How immediately? A few hours. Expect more of the same:
Kevin Eugene Peterson, who was released from the Sacramento County Main Jail around 11:30 p.m. Monday, was arrested by Sacramento police around 12:30 p.m. Tuesday after he allegedly attempted to rape a female counselor at Sacramento's Loaves and Fishes on North C Street.
Peterson qualified for the early-release program, supposedly restricted to non-violent offenders, because his latest arrest was for violating parole on an earlier felony: assault with a deadly weapon. Get it? He should have still been in prison for the felony weapon charge, but because they let him go early to save money, once he got sent back to prison for breaking the law again, he was classified non-violent, rather than counting the parole revocation as a reinstatement of his previous sentence.
Most people assume that revoking parole means reinstating the person's original sentence. That is, after all, what we are told about the parole process. We're not told the truth, apparently.
So by failing to abide by the law the last time he was released, Peterson got himself to the head of the line to be released early a second time. Now a woman has been abducted and terrorized. Authorities say their hands are tied, however, because they are bound by the rules that classified Peterson as "non-violent":
Peterson was one of 121 non-violent inmates released from Sacramento detention Monday and Tuesday after the state penal code was re-written as a cost-saving measure. About 250 inmates were expected to be let free by week's end. While good behavior traditionally could cut up to a third of a California jail inmate's sentence, the new law passed by the state Legislature last year mandated county jail inmates with good behavior be set free after serving only half of their sentenced term. While all of the inmates considered for early release are non-violent offenders, Peterson was originally arrested in August 2007 in south Sacramento on a felony assault with a deadly weapon. However, since Peterson served that sentence and was sent back on a non-violent probation violation in December, he was eligible for early release. Also, the assault with a deadly weapon charge did not result in great bodily injury to the victim, nor did that attack include the use of a fire arm.
More loopholes: because Peterson failed in his effort to do "great bodily harm" to someone, and the "deadly weapon" he used was something other than a gun, the great whirling roulette wheel of justice eventually slotted him out as a non-violent offender. There are a million such loopholes in our sentencing laws, not to mention the giant classificatory loophole that is plea bargaining.
Which raises a serious, though entirely neglected question: how many of these other "non-violent" offenders slated for release, or released already, are actually violent felons?
When politicians promise that only non-violent offenders will be allowed to walk free in these cost-cutting schemes, they're lying.
Speaking of erasing evidence of crime, here is one sadly typical consequence of extreme leniency: subsequent violent death of the offender. He might have been safer in prison, after all:
Charles Montgomery was born in the back room of his grandparents' house on the 400 block of E. 104th St. in the Green Meadows neighborhood of South Los Angeles. Twenty-four years later he died on that very street, a few houses down, shot on his way home from the store in the early afternoon, his family said. . . Montgomery, a 24-year-old black man, was shot several times in his upper body about 2 p.m. Friday, Jan. 15 by a man who approached him on foot, police said. Montgomery died at the scene. . . Police said they have no suspects and no witnesses have come forward. "It was broad daylight — it just don't get more blatant," said Kali Kellup, Montgomery's cousin. "Somebody saw something."
No witnesses have come forward. Kellup also said that people were shocked because his cousin was shot in a little section of the block that was "considered neutral territory." That a war zone with agreed-upon "neutral" spaces is an accepted reality in any corner of America ought to be more shocking.
Raised by his grandparents, who have lived on the block for more than 50 years, Montgomery was known to be "happy go-lucky" and constantly in motion. His family said he had the mental state of a child; he was afflicted with an unknown mental condition that doctors could not diagnose. "He was always happy, always laughing about something," Kellup said. "Even if you didn't know what it was, he was laughing about something."
He was also charged with attempted forcible rape, and kidnapping, and assault with a deadly weapon, serious charges that got pleaded down to a non-sexual charge. I tend not to believe people who claim that a predator isn't responsible for his crimes because of mental incapacity. If you're capable of kidnapping and assaulting someone, you've got some competence, not to mention enough to face the consequences. If there are consequences:
As a teenager, Montgomery spent two years at juvenile hall before being charged as an adult with assault with intent to commit a felony, assault with a deadly weapon, kidnapping, and attempted forcible rape, according to court documents. In 2003, two years after he was taken into custody, his court-appointed attorney agreed to a plea on his behalf. Montgomery was convicted of assault with a deadly weapon, and the other charges were dropped, according to court records. Montgomery was sentenced to two years in state prison; however, he was given over two years of credit for time in custody and good behavior and was released, according to court records.
Two years, and no record as a sex offender, for assault with a deadly weapon, kidnapping, and attempted forced rape. That's what passes for normal these days, but the Justice Department and their Crime Experts keep insisting that we are far too harsh on all offenders, that we need to roll back sentencing even more. To what, minutes or hours in a cell? When you already get time served for armed kidnapping and attempted forcible rape, or a slap on the wrist and two-time early release for assault with a deadly weapon, what exactly are we going to cut? The people controlling this debate are not speaking honestly.
Kellup said he believed his cousin was innocent. "He was basically a fall guy," he said. "It was a travesty of justice."
Just a "fall guy" in a kidnapping and attempted rape? Hmm, with a deadly weapon involved? If everyone, from the prosecutor and the defense attorney and the judge, to his own family, had not worked so hard to excuse Montgomery's prior crime, then he would probably still be alive today. In prison, but not dead.
"I wish they'd stop the killing," Montgomery's grandmother said. "Young people killing one another for no reason at all."

Q: Simple java inheritance question Is it possible to extend the Math class and still use the Math class to call the extended method?
For example, I have a method public static double mean (LinkedList<? extends Number) I would like to call like this Math.mean(list). Is this doable? How?
Thanks.

A: Even if Math wasn't final, you couldn't do this. You can't use a superclass to call a function defined in a subclass. By definition, a subclass has access to all non-private methods defined in the superclass, but a superclass does not have access to functions in a subclass.

A: You can't subclass the Math class because it's final. You could use composition i.e. write your own wrapper class but there wouldn't be much point in that because all of Math's methods are static.

A: Doc  Java.lang.Math is Final class, can't be extended
Update:
Static Method can't be inherited & final class can't be extended.

A: A workaround could be to create your own Math class and use java.lang.Math as composite. The methods without any change can just be delegated to original methods in java.lang.Math. You could rewrite the methods you want to change or expose new methods in your Math class.
The code look like:

public class YourMath {
  public static double mean(LinkedList) {
     //Your new method
  }
  public static double abs(double a) {
     return Math.abs(a); //Delegate
  }
  //...... Any other methods
}

"I'm not hiding under a table if I hear a loud noise, even if it happens to many people. The trauma manifests itself in a strange way. Why do I feel it so close? This is not my problem? But me too. Every woman who watches the air , very angry. We are all on Dr. Ford's site. We know how he feels, "Amber Heard said.

Home Movie News A Candid Conversation With Richard E. Grant
A Candid Conversation With Richard E. Grant
Richard E. Grant has seen a few things in his 61 years. He was raised in the then-British colony of Swaziland. He went to school with Mandela's daughters. He lay silent in the back seat of a car on an African dirt road as his mother screwed a man who was not his father, and then endured said father taking a shot at him in an alcoholic rage.
Later, he moved to London and became an actor making his permanent mark as Withnail, an alcoholic wastrel and the title character in Withnail & I, perhaps the most beloved British cult comedy of all time. He uttered believable lines like "I demand booze" and convincingly consumed lighter fluid. (Despite the fact that, in reality, alcohol makes him deathly ill.) Later, on the set of Martin Scorsese's The Age of Innocence, he prostrated himself at the feet of Daniel Day Lewis for turning down the Withnail role. The Oscar-winner lifted him up and they had a nice chat. During the rest of shooting, however, Lewis refused to speak to him; Grant's feelings were hurt until Michelle Pfeiffer told him that Daniel's character hated his character. Nothing personal.
He soon had a reputation as a dinner-party charmer. His longtime friend Steve Martin wrote, "Once, after only five minutes of sitting next to a woman at a dinner party, he was asking about the duration and flow of her menstrual cycle. The question seemed reasonable at the time, and no one was bothered or offended. I can assure you this is true because I was there, and the woman was my wife-to-be."
At 42, Grant had a nervous breakdown over his tumultuous childhood. At 48, he made the note-perfect film Wah-Wah, a grueling account of said childhood. In his fifties, he started a cologne line, helped break up a fraudulent HIV drug ring in Swaziland and hosted a preposterously excellent show titled Richard E, Grant's Hotel Secrets, where the Sky Network paid him money to stay in, well, luxury hotels. (This was a real show and not to be confused with Posh Nosh, his dead-eyed parody of fancypants cooking shows.) Film fanatics know him as the insane, quick-to-sell-out director from The Player. Millennials and Lena Dunham know him as the manager Clifford in the classic Spice World. Still, for misanthropes of a certain age, he'll always be Withnail to us.
Grant is happily coupled and has a daughter working in the casting director business, which makes him happy because, unlike actresses, she gets to keep her clothes on. Still, one thing was missing from his life — and that was an Oscar nomination. Fortunately, the Academy saw fit to rectify that this year and nominated Grant for Best Supporting Actor for Can You Ever Forgive Me?, where he plays Jack Hock, the gay Sancho Panza to Melissa McCarthy's Leah Israel, a writer of some note reduced to selling author forgeries to pay for her cat shit-filled apartment in a sad-trombone version of mid-Nineties New York City.
The actor was in town and taking a break from awards-season campaigning to speak at a screening last week for Withnail & I at New York's Film Forum. Age has not dulled his sniper wit. No one was safe — not the host, not the audience, not a questioner who had ventured out, according to Grant, on an "ass paralyzing" night without socks. He parried and eye-rolled for a half-hour and then disappeared. It was strangely exhilarating.
The next morning, we met at a Brooklyn hotel. He was wearing the same blue velvet blazer and brightly colored scarf from the night before. He looked fabulous.
You basically went from playing a bad guy in Logan in a superhero movie to Jack Hock in a film written by a woman (Nicole Holofcener), directed by a woman (Marielle Heller) and starring a woman (Melissa McCarthy).
It was a complete diametric opposite — from the most epic testosteronized experience to working on something that was as intimate and estrogen bound as I have ever experienced.
And, with Logan, you have the reputation/experience for being a fairly urbane, not muscular man, what that experience was like for you?
I was the least muscularized person on the entire set. Action sequences take an enormous amount of time to convert something into literal seconds of action in a movie. Whereas, when you're doing something that's as character-based and dialogue-driven as Can You Even Forgive Me?, then you're essentially doing what we're doing now. You're two people sitting talking to each other — it's two talking heads. As opposed to heads being sliced off in all directions.
'Can You Ever Forgive Me?"
You didn't have a lot of time with Melissa before shooting began. That must have been nerve-wracking.
Yes, because she's Melissa McCarthy — that's a very daunting prospect. If you really admire somebody and you've … I had never seen Gilmore Girls, so I knew her comic persona from Bridesmaids onwards. When I heard she wasn't available for rehearsal, I though, "Oh, alright, this is gonna be one of those." You know, you're an adjunct to a star vehicle. Which, the moment I met her … that is literally the last thing that she is.
We ended up meeting the Friday before the Monday we started shooting. I was very grateful that Melissa felt exactly the same way. And that we did meet for a couple of hours, managed to talk through everything, read the scenes and get an idea of what the other person's doing. If you read the scenes, that is how you find out, instantaneously, at what level the person that your acting with is gonna pitch their role.
Was there anyone in your past that inspired your portrayal of Jack — someone charming, reckless and promiscuous?
When I was trying to find somebody in my own life who reminded me of Jack Hock, I thought of a Scottish actor that was very successful called Ian Charleston. He played the lead in the Oscar-winning Chariots of Fire movie in 1981. He died of AIDS at the age of 40 in 1990. I'd worked with him, we became friends — and he had this combination of kind of a little-boy-lost charm in conjunction with very openly promiscuous, lush lifestyle and [a] scabrous wit. He'd make you cry with laughter. The last time I saw Ian he was wearing a bandana, [because] he'd lost all his hair. I asked Marielle, "Can I do the final scene with Jack wearing a bandana, because I can't shave my head." Luckily for me, she agreed to that. That was kind of a homage to somebody that I'd known and liked so much.
Paul McGann, left, and Grant in 'Withnail & I.'
Did you have more rehearsal time with Withnail?
We had two weeks. Because [director-screenwriter] Bruce Robinson was very determined that not a single word was to be improvised. Every single thing was as he wanted to hear in the script. Nothing was played for comedy value; it had to be played for the desperation of the situation that they find themselves in. He was also determined that I lose weight: "You're very fat, Grant." He said, "You've gotta lose 12 pounds before we start shooting." So I'd just spent a year in my unemployment trying to put on weight with weight-gain powder. I had just worked with Gary Oldman, so I said, "Gary, what do I do to get this weight off? He said, "This is what you do … this is the 'weight-off powder.'" [Arches eyebrows]
Was your breakdown a product of your childhood?
Yeah. I had an absolute brilliant American psychoanalyst. When I literally thought that I was physically paralyzed, he said, "Your father was 42 when essentially he lost his career, he was very publicly cuckolded as a public figure in Swaziland by his wife and he had a 10-year-old son." I was 42 and had a 10-year-old daughter. And so, he said, "Subconsciously, you've just kind of hit the wall."
And once he unpicked all that, it was revelatory to me because he made it sound so simple. I understood that it was something I had been carrying and hadn't been able to deal with — I was just angry all the time. It took me 18 months, but ended with reconciliation with my estranged mother, so it was win-win really.
In the 2005 movie based on your childhood, Wah-Wah, there's the shooting and your love of marionettes as a kid, real-life things you experienced. Was the facial tic the character has something that you suffered from?
Absolutely, yeah.
How did you get away from that, especially as an actor?
Because my stepmother did exactly what Emily Watson did in the movie. She had done a psychology degree and she had done vocational guidance with students. She would just imitate me doing this tic and say, "Let's get it out of you." And, eventually, after a year it did. It did disappear. But when I have real anxiety …
It comes back a little bit?
I can feel that it is coming back and I sort of involuntarily do that.
Action sequences take an enormous amount of time, whereas something that's character-based — it's two talking heads. As opposed to heads being sliced off in all directions.
In a couple interviews, you still have a sharpness in your responses. Including last night with the host. after you specifically said, "I cannot talk about Star Wars with you." He then asked: "So, are you a villain?" You might've questioned his mental faculties.
I did. I said, "Are you mentally retarded?"
So, that sharpness did not go away once you'd reached some level of peace about your family?
No, and I know very specifically where it came from. My father was incredibly witty and charming by day, and volcanically verbally and physically vicious when he was drunk. So, that divide of seeing people that I knew, as adults, were our family friends. I would then hear his take on them when he was drunk.
So, that schism … I don't think the majority of children have that where you say, "This is so and so, this is Mr. And Mrs. Smith and they're lovely people and they have these jobs." Then you hear, "Yeah, well she's fucking him and he's done this and he's done that." So, I think once that template is set in your head, it's set. You don't buy just the façade of what people are like. You sniff out the motive.
Last week, there was a lot of buzz on social media about you visiting Barbra Streisand's home and showing a letter you'd wrote her when you were 14 and she was splitting up with Ryan O'Neal. [Grant invited her to vacation at his home in Swaziland.] You seemed to have great, for a fourteen-year-old, empathy for her romantic troubles. Do you think that was somewhat connected to the childhood experiences you'd had?
Yes, and I think that because I had read everything about her and that she was somebody that, even though she was famous by the time she was 19 years old, her childhood was so dysfunctional. That is an immediate bond that you have with somebody because you go, "This person I understand." So, when you hear the voice singing, that's what you hear, whether true or not. You think, as a kid, Well, if I invite them to come and stay here, they'll have a good time. It's fantasy time. When I said to my analyst "Why do I have this ongoing obsession with it?" Because, that fan worship should really pass by the time you're an adult. He said, "Well some people are sort of emotionally arrested at that stage — and you clearly are."
Grant laughed and he related how happy he was that Streisand wrote back to him on Twitter congratulating him for his nomination and thanking him for his letter. For a moment, I thought Grant — who, as Withnail, never backs down from a scrap and tells a drug dealer, "I could take double anything you could" — was going to cry.
But an assistant told him it was time to go. He was hustled toward a black SUV. I asked him where he was going. He gave me a conspiratorial grin. "We're touring Barbra's childhood neighborhood." He did a little skip and was breathless. "She's just so fabulous and amazing." And then he was gone.

West Kootenay resident Rena Zacher with a photo of her son Cory Westcott, missing since Sept. 1. Photo: Bill Metcalfe
West Kootenay mother searching for son missing since Sept. 1
Police are investigating the disappearance of Cory Westcott
Rena Zacher can't find her 34-year-old son Cory Westcott.
The police can't locate him either, even though she says they have used ground crews, dogs, a helicopter and a dive team.
"This is the worst nightmare I have ever experienced," she told the Star on Thursday after her son had been missing for 24 days.
Westcott, who moved to Nelson from Vancouver last summer, went to visit a friend on Aug. 31. She says the friend has since told police that yes, Westcott was there, but he left the same night.
The morning of Sept. 1, Zacher, a rural Nelson resident, says she woke up worried about Westcott but didn't know why. She tried to contact him, but with no response.
Over the next few days, some of his friends told her they hadn't seen him since Aug. 31 and that he had been missing appointments. "That's not like him," his mother says.
Police found his truck, a grey 2007 Toyota Tundra crew cab pickup with the keys still in it, parked by the Kootenay Canal and sent a dive team out.
"And there was no sign of him there," says Zacher. "In my heart, I don't think he is there."
Zacher says she keeps asking questions and "I have found out more and more details every time I talk to people. And so I believe the truth will come out at some point. But I don't think my son ever was where his truck was."
She is happy with the work of the police.
"The police have been awesome. I have to say they've been just great."
Westcott moved to Nelson to be closer to his mother and sister, and to get a fresh start in life, Zacher says.
"He was trying to find his place here, find where he wanted to be. He attended church here. He had signed up for a church group just recently. He was very much a Christian. He couldn't eat unless he prayed and blessed his food. He was a strong believer in God."
Westcott was doing odd jobs but otherwise had not found work in Nelson.
"He actually wanted to find investors and and start a facility for drug users and addicts, because that was something very close to his heart. He just wanted to make a change in the world in that direction."
She said her son had problems with drugs years ago.
"He was doing really well now and he was healthy. He attended the gym every day. He had plans for his future."
Zacher says she enjoyed her son's company.
"My son is a character. He has a very good sense of humour. He likes to joke. But he also had a heart of gold. If he saw you down the street and you looked like you needed something, he'd be the first one to offer you $5 if you needed it. He was very, very good-hearted."
The police investigation is still open and Zacher is living with a mix of hope and dread.
"I just want to find him. I don't really think that he's in this world any more. But I want to find out."
Anyone with information about the whereabouts of Cory Westcott is asked to contact the Nelson Police Department at 250-354-3919 or Zacher at 250-801-8892.

It might be the end of an era. It feels like the end of an era, to be honest. It goes to a place where it will be pretty hard to follow on immediately.
Sherlock has had a pretty decent run, all things considered. The careers of Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman have really taken off since the Sherlock premiere back in 2010, so we can count ourselves lucky that we've gotten as much of Sherlock and John as we have. Besides, the show has been so twisty and turn-y in the past few seasons that it may run out of crazy "Gotcha!" endings sooner rather than later. If Season 4 comes to a solid conclusion--and Benedict Cumberbatch seems to be indicating it might--perhaps it would be best to say goodbye to Sherlock.
That said, Sherlock has come back from impossible places before. Ends of eras don't feel entirely permanent when it comes to a world in which the lead character can so convincingly fake his own death that even his medical professional best friend didn't know he survived. Moriarty seems to be the villain who continues his villainy no matter how dead he appears. Even if Sherlock does seem to end after Season 4, who's to say that it could never return at a later date?
We never say never on the show. I'd love to revisit it, I'd love to keep revisiting it, I stand by that, but in the immediate future we all have things that we want to crack on with and we've made something very complete as it is, so I think we'll just wait and see. The idea of never playing him again is really galling.
Considering that Benedict Cumberbatch is less than a month away from making his grand Marvel debut with the premiere of Doctor Strange, it makes sense that he'd want to focus on some non-Sherlock roles for the time being. Doctor Strange could be the movie that makes or breaks Cumberbatch's big screen premiere. Still, Sherlock is really a timeless character. Unless Sherlock is blown to smithereens in the final scene of Season 4, there's no reason why he shouldn't be able to reprise the role at any point in the future.
Luckily, we don't have to start panicking about the end of Sherlock just yet. We have at least three whole episodes ahead of us with Season 4. The next set promise to be darker and more intense than ever when they premiere in 2017, and the new big bad sounds intriguing. The first episode will debut on BBC on January 1, 2017 and usually hits the schedule in the US around the same time. In the meantime, you can check out our fall TV premiere schedule to see what else you can watch to pass the time before Sherlock Season 4.

Computing devices for mobile and resource-constrained (embedded) environments are becoming the fastest growing market segment for the computer industry, even out-pacing corporate desktop, small office, and home computer sales. Energy efficiency is an obvious requirement for such devices. On the other hand, increasing clock frequencies make energy efficiency an important issue for even high-performance computing.
In this talk, I will give a summary of the recent work done at Penn State by the Microsystems Design Group on energy estimation and optimization. I will start with an energy estimation simulator and discuss the energy models employed in the simulator. Then, I will present several example uses of the simulator: evaluating current architectures, evaluating energy-conscious hardware components, the tradeoffs between hardware and software optimizations, and studying widely-used compiler optimizations from an energy viewpoint.
The last part of the talk will consist of a discussion of energy behavior of Java programs. I will give the detailed energy breakdown of the Java Virtual Machine, and discuss which parts of the architecture consumes what percentage of the energy during execution.

How do I start dating again?
You probably had high expectations for marriage but things happened,and you called it quits. It has been five years since you went on a date and are wondering can I date again. This is a question that many people who have gone through breakups, divorce or their partners have died often ask.
Certain aspects of dating have changed since over the years. Gone are the days when dating included coffee dates or meeting at the movies. We now have many online dating sites,and the probability of meeting someone online through various social media platforms is high.
If you plan on getting out there and dating there are several things that you need to consider.
List what you want from a partner
It is essential that you make a list of what you would like from a potential partner. While finding the perfect partner is a cliché there are qualities that you are not willing to compromise on. Your past relationships should guide you on what you do not want or what you liked. It is also vital that you stop comparing your future partner with your past. It is essential that you avoid people who are on drugs like tramadol addiction or alcoholism. This is because you do not want to deal with all the drama that comes with addictions too soon.
Don't be so engrossed in finding the right partner that you forget to have fun. Dating is supposed to be fun; look for activities that interest you and your partner. It is easier to fall in love when you are not so tense. Instead of this person being the perfect match try having fun without being judgmental. Avoid going to places that remind you of your ex; be creative and discover new places. The date does not have to be romantic and does not mind finding a new friend. You can choose to download one of the several dating apps available online. Look for one that is genuine and begin by creating friendships.
Work on yourself
Relationships can drain you and leave you with notime for yourself. This single period is the ideal time to finding and doing things that you are passionate about. You can decide to hit the gym and work out on your image. Do this for yourself and besides you might find someone new. As you invest more time inyourself, you find qualities about yourself that you have never discovered. Travel and expand your horizons, learn a new skill or language, take cooking lessons or simply change your wardrobe.
A break up can change how you view relationships. You probably have negative preconceived ideas on different genders,or you probably have the attitude that all relationships hurt and lead to break up. It is good to take some time and grief your previous relationship. Find and focus on the positive. Avoid generalizations – what happened in the past is in the past. You have a high chance of finding love if you maintain the right attitude.
Do not be too "picky."
There are those who approach a new relationship with a list of qualities that they are looking for; when you look at the list, you realize that it is impossible for one person to be that perfect. While we are not telling you're to lower your expectations; we are encouraging you to be realistic about your expectations. Give people a chance and do not focus so much on their weakness. Not every person you come across will have the same qualities as your previous partner.
Take your time
Do not rush to get into a relationship. There can be pressure due to age to get married,but you need to go in your pace. Go for more dates and try different types of people. This will give you a wide variety of choices. Dating should be fun so relax and try out new things. While on a date take your time to ask meaningful questions. Where does your date expectations? Where do they see themselves in the next five or ten years? Questions also keep the conversation going.
Avoid shifting the conversation to your ex or past hurtful relationships. People, like being valued and cared for and talking about your ex continuously,makes the other party feel unappreciated. First impressions matter; wear something that makes you feel comfortable. Take care of your grooming, apply some perfume and make every effort to be gorgeous. A shower is a must. For the first date select a place that you are familiar with. Always carry some extra cash in case your date cannot drop you. When choosing a place for the date, avoid a place you will constantly be bumping into your friends. This will create distractions; the date is about the two of you.
Guys your confidence matters; while it is normal for you to be a bit tense take short breathes and avoid overthinking. Do not take alcohol to cure your nerves; this can make your conversations odd and besides your date may not be into alcohol. Keep the conversation fun and maintain eye contact. One party should not do all the talking,but you should give your partner the opportunity to ask you questions and interact. Listening is an important skill that will earn you points. Nothing is annoying as someone who is constantly on their phone. It passes the message that you do not matter. When on a date be polite by turning off your phone. If you are a guy offer to pay on the first date. Make a follow up on your date to find out whether they got home well and how they are progressing after the date. You can then request for another date.
Dating can be a nervous time for some people. But, it is also an exciting time to meet new people. Focus on the conversation and having fun and do not make it too serious. It might take going for several dates before meeting the right person buteventually you will meet someone you like.

Presented in conjunction with the 2018 New York International Auto Show, the Lamborghini Huracán Peformante Spyder made its North American debut last night at an intimate media unveiling in the heart of New York City.
"The Huracán Performante Spyder, Lamborghini's newest addition to the marque, provides the ultimate mix of track performance for any road," said Automobili Lamborghini America Chief Operating Officer, Alessandro Farmeschi, who was in attendance at the event. "It transcends performance expectations, evoking an all-new, exciting open-air experience that is perfect for summer driving."
The inherent design, technology and performance features of the Huracán Performante are as fundamental in the Spyder as they are in the coupé, adding a new dimension of driving pleasure to the supreme experience of the Huracán. The exterior design is sophisticated and razorblade sharp like a race car with the design of the air intakes and splitter giving the impression of incisors and aerodynamic power.
The Huracán Performante Spyder, with roof open or closed, is equally a driver's car in challenging dynamic conditions, as well as an inspiring lifestyle experience. The lightweight, electrohydraulic roof easily opens in just 17 seconds up to speeds of 30 mph for fresh-air exhilaration.
The Performante Spyder maintains the aerodynamic prowess of its coupé counterpart. Featuring Lamborghini's exclusive Forged Composite, it is 77 lbs. lighter than its Spyder sister, the light-weight composite is characterized by a high threshold for extreme force and durability.
Performante Spyder features Lamborghini's patented Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva (ALA) system, which varies aero load in conditions requiring either high down force or low drag, as well as enabling aero vectoring in high-speed for excellent driving dynamics on track and on road in every condition.
The Spyder features an enhanced suspension system; recalibrated ESC; more responsive Lamborghini Dynamic Steering (LDS); permanent four-wheel drive maximizing traction in all situations in conjunction with the ALA system; and revised ANIMA: Lamborghini's driver- mode system comprising STRADA, SPORT and CORSA, which customizes the set-up of all the car's dynamic systems.
Like the Performante Coupé, the Spyder has a naturally aspirated V10 engine, delivering 640 horsepower at 8,000 rpm. The Huracán Performante Spyder can accelerate from 0-62 mph in 3.1 seconds and has a top speed of 202 mph.
With 1,306 cars delivered to customers across North America, 2017 marked another record year for Lamborghini sales in North America, with the V10 model Lamborghini Huracán growing by 12 percent from 2,353 to 2,642 units globally. The sales figures have awarded the Huracán range since its launch as the most successful product in the Lamborghini history. This March, Lamborghini hit a production record of 10,000 Huracáns produced in a record four-years, a production milestone for the super car company.
Customers will begin taking delivery of the new Huracán Performante Spyder this summer at a suggested retail price
of $308,859 (taxes excluded).

SCHLITTERBAHN WATERPARKS
Schlitterbahn New Braunfels Waterpark is the #1 Waterpark in the World for the last 19 Years.
Located on the banks of the spring fed Comal River in New Braunfels, Texas, Schlitterbahn's flagship waterpark has 51 attractions on over 70 acres. Family-owned and operated, Schlitterbahn provides a staggering variety and miles of river rides, waterslides, and adventures from mild to wild.
Waterpark Location: 400 North Liberty Avenue, New Braunfels, Texas 78130
The Resort at Schlitterbahn New Braunfels is open year-round. Guests can enjoy the family excitement and convenience of a resort and waterpark during the summer and the beauty of a Hill Country Getaway year-round. With hotel rooms, one and two bedroom suites, Riverbend Cabins, Treehaus Luxury Suites, and vacation homes, The Resort at Schlitterbahn has a wide range of accommodations for any type of vacation.
Four Adventures – One Waterpark
The Original Schlitterbahn: Home to the signature Schlitterbahn Castle, this section of the park uses springfed water from the Comal River. Nestled beneath a beautiful canopy of trees, this section of the park has eight tube chutes, seven kids' play areas, a wave pool, and swim up bars with heated pools. On the wild side: the Down Hill Racer and the Soda Straws. On the mild side: the Raging River and the Congo River Expedition.
Surfenburg: Named for the world's first surfing wave invented 26 years ago, the Boogie Bahn, Surfenburg is also home to the first uphill water coaster, The Dragon's Revenge – invented 22 years ago. Also in Surfenburg: the Kristal River which circles Squirt'n Sliden, a giant kids' play area.
Blastenhoff turns 21!: The most award-winning attraction in Schlitterbahn history, the Master Blaster, turns 21 in 2017. Using patented water injection technology, the Master Blaster starts at the top of a six story tower in Blastenhoff. (Two other rides also take off from the same tower.) Surrounding the "Blast Tower" is the Torrent Wave River – also invented 21 years ago – which combines an endless river with a wave pool for unlimited fun.
Tubenbach: Tubenbach features The Falls, the world's longest tubing adventure. The Tubenbach area features several no-wait attractions and beaches allowing park guests to enjoy the rides without standing in line. Also, several of the Tubenbach attractions are interconnected through an innovative Transportainment® river, which allows guests to float their way throughout the Tubenbach area.
Overall, Schlitterbahn New Braunfels has four times the rides and attractions of any waterpark within 200 miles, and twice the number of attractions of any waterpark within 500 miles. Our naturally landscaped park with hundred-year-old oak, cedar, and cypress trees creates a completely different experience from the typical "hard-scaped" waterparks. We call those old school parks "cement, stairs, and slides" versus Schlitterbahn's rivers, trees, and rides.
Green Schlitterbahn
Schlitterbahn's commitment to the environment is long standing. From the way the original park was designed to flow among trees, to the commitment to water conservation (98% of the water is recycled through filtration), to maintaining recycling containers throughout the parks, Schlitterbahn believes in sustainability. The development team, which builds our new parks and attractions at Schlitterbahn, constantly looks for ways to reduce, reuse, and recycle.
Premium Cabanas
Schlitterbahn has expanded the number of available cabanas to include everything from BBQ palapas to super-sized cabanas suitable for ten people to share. Luxury cabanas with mini-fridges and TVs were successfully launched summer of 2015.
Schedule: Schlitterbahn New Braunfels Waterpark is open for Spring Break March 11-19, 2017 (only our Blastenhoff area), then open weekends beginning April 14, 2017 and daily beginning May 12, 2017 to August 27, 2017.

The unique character of the park has led amusement park fans to vote Schlitterbahn New Braunfels the "World's Best Waterpark" nineteen years in a row. The park's six-story Master Blaster® Uphill Water Coaster has been voted the "World's Best Waterpark Ride" repeatedly. The park also won the "World's Best New Waterpark Ride" Award for four years for; the Dragon's Revenge Water Coaster (2008), the Congo River Expedition, a heavily themed jungle ride (2009), and most recently The Falls, the world's longest tubing adventure (2011).
Schlitterbahn, which means "slippery road" in German, was opened in 1979 by the Henry family with four water slides starting from a German-style tower. The tower was patterned after the Bergfried Guard Tower at Solms Castle in Braunfels, Germany – home of the original settlers of New Braunfels. The Henry family added the tower and the slides on a hill next to their resort, known back then as the Landa Resort. The family has continued to innovate, creating new ways to have fun with water that are imitated throughout the industry. More History

Q: jQuery image on image I have a gallery of images that I'm ajaxing in and I'd like to let the user delete them. So when you mouse over each one, a small image of an X should appear in the corner and when clicked, that'll delete it. Here's what I have
$(".previews").live('mouseenter', function(){
console.log('mouse detected');
console.log($(this).id);
    $(this).css({position:'relative'});
    $('
').text(' ').css({
        'height': $(this).height(),
        'width': $(this).width(),
        'background': 'url(delete.png) top left no-repeat',
        'position': 'absolute',
        'top': 15,
        'left': 170,
        'opacity': 0.0
    }).addClass("hover-tile").bind('mouseleave', function(){
            $(".hover-tile").each(function () { $(this).remove(); });
})
});

This is what each image that is ajax'd in looks like:

";

Right now, console.log($(this).id); returns an undefined and I'm not seeing delete.png appear. Also, I read on the jQuery API website that live() is now depreciated, should I try to use on() instead?

A: IMO it's better to do it with :hover css pseudo-class. You can render this div with images right away, but with display:none style set. Here's example code:

I just read this, and oh my god this was good. I"m assuming this is the end of Namors arc and that was handled really well, i loved the introduction of the winter guard, i'm assuming they're gonna keep showing up as a rival team. The character of the red widow is really intriguing. The entire story between Ghost Rider and Odin was god-like. Loki made a reappearance and that was really fun. Thunderbolt Ross is planning some stuff that i'm looking forward to seeing. And the new member that was promised did not disappoint.
Overall, this was a fantastic issue, can not recommend this enough, really looking forward to what Jason Aaron has in stores for us.
Outstanding issue from Jason Aaron. His story just got immensely intriguing by all of the insane twists and reveals. That JLA nod was great especially with Agent. Marquez and McGuiness were perfect. Plus Irving, Kubert and Sorrentino delivered even more set up/future stories. This is the best $6 i spent in a long while.
This was a perfect modern superhero comic. Wonderful art, action, intrigue, great character writing, tons of set-up, decent payoff. If every book were this good I'd go broke from buying them all. Literally no complaints here. I want to reread it tomorrow, and the day after.
This is a milestone issue done right. Super excited for so much here.
The best part of this series is that it feels like the lead team book of Marvel. If you wanted to read one book that is really setting up the big story that is the Marvel 616 universe this is what you need to be reading. This is a big high action story that will keep moving till the last page. The two big books for this week are Avengers and Uncanny X-Men and both are laying the ground for epic stories and they will leave you with more questions than answers. I am looking forward to what takes shape.
This issue not only progressed this story, it also progress last and future stories! It had great action and great dialogue! Have me excited for what's to come! Only quiver was that the issue with Namor was cut shorter than I would have liked. Art was amazing!
Best issue of this Avengers run and probably one of the best issues to come out this week. The whole issue was very engaging throughout. Jason Aaron's ideas for the future are beyond awesome and very intriguing. I already had some of the suprises spoiled for me and some reveals were predictable for me but i still found this book very entertaining. The art by all those artists and colourists are very good as well. Cant wait for the future issues.
Wow. There was a ton of content in this issue.
Loved how much is packed here, every artist is great as well. Not too keen on some of the dialogue though.
2018 attitude, 1965 characterization. I grew up on Silver Age stories like this, where Stan Lee had to write everyone as hair-trigger aggros in order to work in a fight scene, and that was ok because no one was particularly devloped as a character. I guess that's what Aaron is going for here, what with Namor acting like Silver Age Namor again and all. Just feels kind of shallow today.
Been a fan of the avengers I wanted to pay tribut to Stan by taking this 700s issue.
To be fair Aaron neal the winter Guard return at first. And by splitting avengers in duo (Ghost Rider/Tony, T'challa/Jennifer, Thor/Captain Marvel) a give some good storyline. I particulary liked T'challa test for Hulk ^^. And we have Captain America facing alone Thunderbolt Ross. A strong moment where cap is true to himself and the cap from both Civil war comics et MCU movie.
But then he have some stupid moment. So Namor & his defenders attack a submarine base. I don't like to see Namor as a bad guy. I rather would have accepted to see that Namor is the good side (With plastic/gasoline polition by humans to say the least). And for a moment I was happy to see a understanding between Namor & the Avengers. But then the script was send to hell or something. Namor's Piranhas didn't stand down as asked, so Steve have to do something. I believe Namor would accept that or put them down himself, like he did when he flee. And I certainly don't understand that the Avengers have a hard time against this team. Ok Namor his powerfull and his team larger. The avengers aren't well prepared (Sight ! Like if when they face other opponent they were). Namor Defender's feel like a Joke so I'm piss that they nead the Winter Guard to win. But let thay that at least that lead to a team up. There's just a problem with that, they will fight too for a silly excuse. Perun & Chernobog start to argue togehter. Once more the leader (Crimson Dinamo even if more latter we see that he's not their leader) ask for stopping them. And Hulk did that without arming them. But Hulk action lead the Winter Guard to turn against the avengers letting Namor runing away. It's not what I wanted to see for my team. And I will not talk about the boring Ghost Rider/Odin encounter. Or the Loki/Phoenix one (I rolled my eyes many time). Or the too short wasp's mission.


I am looking for the type of fabric used for those very thin swaddling blankets for babies. The companies that make them call it a muslin but all the muslin I find is of a different, heavier nature. The swaddling blankets appear to be gauze really but ready made items call it muslin. should I be looking at gauze? Is organic better? And why is it so hard to buy fabric that matches the type found in any store-bought item? Thank you for your input!

Haitian Artist BélO Wins Grand Prize InPrestigious 2020 Unsigned Only Music Competition
Haitian Artist BélO Wins Grand Prize In
Prestigious 2020 Unsigned Only Music Competition
September 9, 2020 Info@globalmoneyworld.com
Judges Include: Charli XCX, NLE Choppa, Tinariwen, Aimee Mann, Ruthie Foster, Piso 21, Robert Smith (The Cure), O.A.R., Tenth Avenue North, and More
Nashville, TN, September 9, 2020 – The winners of the US-based Unsigned Only Music Competition were announced today. The overall 2020 Grand Prize is awarded to the Haitian world music artist Jean Belony Murat, known as BélO. He is also the winner of Fandemonium, Unsigned Only's online public vote.
Established in 2012, Unsigned Only has become known as the leading music competition honoring international artists who are not signed to a major record label. It has become an important source for discovering new talent and acts as a benchmark for excellence in the arena of contemporary music. Selected from more than 7,000 entries from 109 countries, the winners share in over $160,000 in cash and prizes split among 38 winners.
Winners were selected by a judging panel comprised of high-profile industry experts and renowned recording artists, including: Charli XCX; Aimee Mann; Sanctus Real; O.A.R.; Ruthie Foster; Robert Smith (The Cure); David Benoit; Tyler Williams (The Head And The Heart); NLE Choppa; Bibi Marin (Reik); Darryl Worley; Piso 21; Janiva Magness; Tinariwen; Rhett Walker; The Devil Makes Three; Buika; and many more (see complete list below).
Hailed as Haiti's musical ambassador to the world, BélO is a socially conscious singer/songwriter whose music reflects the issues and challenges facing his home country. BélO has always been committed to the causes of the less fortunate, the education of children, women's rights, social solidarity, environmental protection, and peace in Haiti and around the world. His social activism is especially significant during these challenging times and exposes the enormous contradictions and inequalities of our societies.
"Haiti has a lot to offer to the rest of the world, and our culture reflects the beauty of its diversity," said BélO. "When we are united there's not much that we can't achieve. As always I am proud to represent my country and to share my music with the world. I would like to extend my gratitude to the fans who supported me and carried me throughout the years."
BélO's sound is a mixture of world, rock, reggae, jazz, and Afro-Haitian traditional rhythms known as "ragganga." Born in Croix-des-Bouquets, near Port-au-Prince, BélO was only 11 years old when he realized he wanted to be a professional musician. For him, it was seemingly his destiny because music was everywhere: in his home, on the streets, and all over Haiti. His first album was released in 2005, and since then he has performed all over the world, garnering accolades and multiple awards, including winning the prestigious "Prix Radio France International Discoveries" award.
"BélO's message is so relevant right now; it speaks to the turbulent and challenging times in which we all live," said Founders/Directors Candace Avery and Jim Morgan. "His message of unity and peace resonates now more than ever."
In addition to winning $20,000 in cash (US) and much more in prizes, BélO will also receive one-on-one mentoring from a group of upper-echelon music industry executives from: ARC Music, Because Music, Cumbancha/Putumayo, Naive Records, Montreux Jazz Festival, Omnium Records, RCA, and Summerfest Music Festival.
Artist judges include: Aimee Mann; Bow Wow; Buika; Charli XCX; Christopher Lennertz; Craig Campbell; Darryl Worley; David Benoit; Eric Bibb; Janiva Magness; Lionel Loueke; NLE Choppa; Chris Culos (O.A.R.); Bibi Marin (Reik); Rhett Walker; Robert Smith (The Cure); Russ Landau; Ruthie Foster; Sanctus Real; Tenth Avenue North; The Devil Makes Three; Tinariwen; Victor Wainwright; and Zbigniew Presiner.
Industry judges include: Angel Romero (Founder/Sr. Editor, World Music Central); Angela Yee (Radio Personality, "The Breakfast Club"/105.1); Anna Kolander (Manager, Activist Artists Mgmt); Anthony DeCurtis (Contributing Editor, Rolling Stone); Art Tipaldi (Editor, Blues Music Magazine); Brandon Chitwood (The EDM Scholar); Brett Milano (Music Critic, Boston Herald); Brinson Strickland (President, Collective Music Nashville); Chad Jensen (Artist Manager, Jensen Artist Mgmt); Christopher Scapelliti (Editor-In-Chief, Guitar Player); Damian Fanelli (Editor-In-Chief, Guitar World); David Sikorski (Sr. Editor, EARMILK Media Inc.); David Silbaugh (Talent Buyer, Summerfest); Enrique Santos (Chairman/Chief Creative Officer, iHeart Latino); Evan Stein (Owner, Experience Music Group); Gaston Leone (Talent Buyer, Goldenvoice); Hilary Saunders (Managing Editor, No Depression); James Kempner (Owner, JMK Connections); James Whitting (Partner, Paradigm Talent Agency); Jeff Zuchowski (VP, Artist Marketing/Industry Relations, Pandora); Jennifer Taunton (Music Supervisor, Level Two Music); John Cameron (Managing Editor, EDM.com); John Dibiase (President, Jesus Freak Hideout); Joseph Patterson (Senior Editor, Complex); Josh Jackson (Co-Founder and Editor-In-Chief, Paste Magazine); Kevin McNeese (President, NewReleaseToday); Lyndsey Parker (Managing Editor, Yahoo Music); Mac Randall (Editor, JazzTimes); Raoul Hernandez (Music Editor, Austin Chronicle); and Sheryl Louis (CSM Management).

We are CEO Advisors, LLC. We help CEOs and executive teams in their quest to build great and enduring organizations. We are designing a short webinar to post on www.theceoadvantage.com to provide a brief overview of The CEO Advantage, a strategy execution process for CEOs and executive teams. These slides will accompany our voice-over on the webinar.
I am providing the script of our webinar (color coded to indicate suggested slide transitions). I am also providing a powerpoint presentation we drafted for this for your reference. Since we are not graphic design professionals, however, we would like to see other ideas. You are welcome to use the current template, colors, etc.; however, this is not required. We are open to all ideas. We simply want professionally-designed slides that have a bit of "wow" factor. They must visually convey the concepts discussed in the script in a way that entices the viewer to continue watching the entire webinar (which will be approximately 7 minutes long).
We have two audiences. Our primary audience is CEOs and executives who are looking for help executing their organizational strategies. Our secondary audience is professional business advisors who might be interested in becoming certified in our process for use with their clients.
The webinar at http://www.cfoone.com/webinar is a similar style to what we're trying to do. I think this has nice looking slides, although they are a bit text heavy. I don't mind text where appropriate and if it helps to reinforce the concepts being discussed, but if a concept can be portrayed in a graphic while the voice-over elaborates, that is preferable. The other example is the draft presentation I have attached. This will give you an idea of what we're trying to do.
Do not feel limited by either, however. I am open to any new ideas that will present the material well.
One other note: animation should be used with discretion. We don't necessarily have to have any unless you feel it greatly enhances the presentation.
When mentioned in the script, we would like to visually emphasize our call to download articles at www.theceoadvantage.com and click the "Get Started" button at the same site.

Impact craters
June 16, 2013 | A	Strange Mystery | Science
An impact crater is an approximately circular depression in the surface of a planet, moon or other solid body in the Solar System, formed by the hypervelocity impact of a smaller body with the surface. In contrast to volcanic craters, which result from explosion or internal collapse, impact craters typically have raised rims and floors that are lower in elevation than the surrounding terrain. Impact craters range from small, simple, bowl-shaped depressions to large, complex, multi-ringed impact basins. Meteor Crater is perhaps the best-known example of a small impact crater on the Earth.
Impact craters are the dominant geographic features on many solid Solar System objects including the Moon, Mercury, Callisto, Ganymede and most small moons and asteroids. On other planets and moons that experience more active surface geological processes, such as Earth, Venus, Mars, Europa, Io and Titan, visible impact craters are less common because they become eroded, buried or transformed by tectonics over time. Where such processes have destroyed most of the original crater topography, the terms impact structure or astrobleme are more commonly used. In early literature, before the significance of impact cratering was widely recognised, the terms cryptoexplosion or cryptovolcanic structure were often used to describe what are now recognised as impact-related features on Earth.
The cratering records of very old surfaces, such as Mercury, the Moon, and the southern highlands of Mars, record a period of intense early bombardment in the inner Solar System around 3.9 billion years ago. Since that time, the rate of crater production on Earth has been considerably lower, but it is appreciable nonetheless; Earth experiences from one to three impacts large enough to produce a 20 km diameter crater about once every million years on average. This indicates that there should be far more relatively young craters on the planet than have been discovered so far. The cratering rate in the inner solar system fluctuates as a consequence of collisions in the asteroid belt that create a family of fragments that are often sent cascading into the inner solar system. Formed in a collision 160 million years ago, the Baptistina family of asteroids is thought to have caused a large spike in the impact rate, perhaps causing the Chicxulub impact that may have triggered the extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago.
Although the Earth's active surface processes quickly destroy the impact record, about 170 terrestrial impact craters have been identified. These range in diameter from a few tens of meters up to about 300 km, and they range in age from recent times (e.g. the Sikhote-Alin craters in Russia whose creation were witnessed in 1947) to more than two billion years, though most are less than 500 million years old because geological processes tend to obliterate older craters. They are also selectively found in the stable interior regions of continents. Few undersea craters have been discovered because of the difficulty of surveying the sea floor, the rapid rate of change of the ocean bottom, and the subduction of the ocean floor into the Earth's interior by processes of plate tectonics.
Impact craters are not to be confused with landforms that in some cases appear similar, including calderas and ring dikes.

9 Bad Habits That Ladies Must Break During Their Periods!
Those 4-6 days in the month are the most uncomfortable for women yet depressing too. Though many things can help us in getting free of menstrual pain, still it's essential that we ladies take proper care of our health during periods.
If you're wearing the same pad for the whole day, it can cause infections and produce a bad odor. Change your pad in every 3-5 hours, whether you're bleeding heavily or low.
You are already feeling pain, thus do not push yourselves in giving more pain. Do not do things like waxing or planning a root canal.
If you're having unprotected s3x during periods, there are high chances of getting infections.
You can harm your body and give strain to it if you do rigorous exercises during period.
You're already losing a lot of energy and blood from your body. Therefore, it is not advisable to skip meals during periods.
Avoid cravings for food in the middle of the night as it will do harm to your body. It is not able to digest all that greasy food which gets in.
Though the menstrual cramps make it difficult for girls to sleep at night but it is recommended to have a good night's sleep and relax your body because of the strain that you've experienced whole day.
Milk products can worsen the cramps during your period as they contain arachidonic acid, thus avoid consuming them.
Avoid involving yourself in depressing activities like watching distressing movies and listening to sad songs as it may affect the psychological health of any women.
